I’ve commented on how struck I was at the partisan bias against President-elect Obama by Fox News, and in particular by Sean Hannity.

But extreme bias is not exclusive to the right-wing.

Rachel Maddow is to Sarah Palin what Sean Hannity is to Barack Obama.

I also had big problems with Palin’s divisive meanness and lack of preparedness to be Vice-President.  But there is such thing as decency in allowing someone who is defeated to move on.  The opposite of a sore loser is an arrogant winner, and even more off-putting is an ungracious fan of a winning team.

In Sarah Palin Annotated, Rachel Maddow was so relentless in highlighting inane and inconsequential issues as if they were newsworthy, it felt as kicking someone when they are down. It was all the more jarring because she tries to be funny about it, but, well, let’s just say she is not Jon Stewart.
